FRANKLIN FORESTRY NURSERY—SHELBURNE FALLS, MASSACHUSETTS 
Evergreen Shrubs 
T HIS group is especially desirable when planted 
with other evergreens as the broad green 
| leaves and colored blossoms are very effective. 
If peat moss or old leaves are used as a mulch, 
it is of advantage to their growth, as they are 
shallow rooted plants. They do not want any lime 
in the soil. They will stand some pruning but not 
as much as broad leaved shrubs that shed their 
leaves. They are better when grown with other 
shrubs or evergreens which act as a slight protec¬ 
tion.

in color and very fragrant. The plant will bloom 
again in late August but not as heavily as in 
June. Used as a low growing border plant in 
the rock garden, in the foreground of founda¬ 
tion planting, or as a garden bed center piece.
